DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A photographing lens assembly includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, and a sixth lens element. The photographing lens assembly has a total of six non-cemented lens elements with refractive power.

Each of the first through sixth lens elements is a single and non-cemented lens element. That is, any two lens elements adjacent to each other are not cemented, and there is a space in a paraxial region between the two lens elements. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the cemented lenses is more complex than the non-cemented lenses. In particular, a second surface of one lens element and a first surface of the following lens element need to have accurate curvature to ensure these two lens elements will be highly cemented. However, during the cementing process, those two lens elements might not be highly cemented due to displacement and it is thereby not favorable for the image quality of the photographing lens assembly. Therefore, the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure provides six non-cemented lens elements for improving the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.

The first lens element with positive refractive power has an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof, so that the total track length of the photographing lens assembly can be reduced by properly adjusting the positive refractive power of the first lens element.

The second lens element can have negative refractive power and an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration of the photographing lens assembly.

The fourth lens element can have positive refractive power, wherein the positive refractive power of the fourth lens element can become weak from a paraxial region towards a peripheral region. Moreover, the fourth lens element can have an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for effectively correcting astigmatism and reducing photosensitivity and further correcting aberration of the off-axis.

The fifth lens element with negative refractive power has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for the principal point of the photographing lens assembly being positioned away from the image plane and reducing the back focal length thereof so as to keep a compact size. Furthermore, the image-side surface of the fifth lens element can have at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof, so that it is favorable for effectively reducing the incident angle of the light projecting onto an image sensor in order to improve the responding efficiency of the image sensor.

The sixth lens element can have an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and has an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof, wherein the image-side surface of the sixth lens element has at least one convex shape in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the back focal length of the photographing lens assembly so as to correct the aberration of the off-axis.

According to the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of the second lens element, the third lens element and the fourth lens element has at least one inflection point on at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the incident angle of the light projecting onto the image sensor so as to improve the responding efficiency of the image sensor and reduce the aberration of the off-axis.

When a focal length of the photographing lens assembly is f, and a focal length of the first lens element is f1, the following condition is satisfied: 0<f1/f<2.5. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the total track length of the photographing lens assembly so as to keep a compact size thereof. Preferably, the following condition is satisfied: 0.30<f1/f<1.25.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the second lens element is R3, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the second lens element is R4, the following condition is satisfied: (R3+R4)/(R3−R4)<−0.40. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration of the photographing lens assembly by properly adjusting the surface shape of the second lens element. Preferably, the following condition is satisfied: −2.0<(R3+R4)/(R3−R4)<−0.60.

When an Abbe number of the fifth lens element is V5, the following condition is satisfied: V5<32. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the chromatic aberration of the photographing lens assembly.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the fifth lens element is R9, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is R10, the following condition is satisfied: 0<(R9+R10)/(R9−R10)<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for having a stronger negative refractive power for the fifth lens element by properly adjusting the surface shape of the fifth lens element. Furthermore, it is also favorable for the principal point of the photographing lens assembly being positioned away from the image plane and reducing the back focal length of the photographing lens assembly so as to keep a compact size thereof.

When the focal length of the photographing lens assembly is f, and the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the second lens element is R4, the following condition is satisfied: −2.0<f/R4≦0.0. Therefore, it is favorable for correcting the aberration of the photographing lens assembly.

When the focal length of the first lens element is f1, and a focal length of the second lens element is f2, the following condition is satisfied: f1/|f2|<0.75. Therefore, it is favorable for balancing the arrangement of the refractive powers.

When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TL, and a maximum image height of the photographing lens assembly (half of a diagonal length of an effective photosensitive area of an image sensor) is ImgH, the following condition is satisfied: TL/ImgH<2.0. Therefore, it is favorable for keeping the photographing lens assembly compact.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element is R2, the following condition is satisfied; −1.5<(R1+R2)/(R1−R2)<−0.4. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing the spherical aberration and astigmatism of the photographing lens assembly.

When a sum of the central thicknesses of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element is ΣCT, and an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Td, the following condition is satisfied: 0.65<ΣCT/Td<0.85. Therefore, it provides favorable moldability and homogeneity for lens elements during the injection molding process and keeping the photographing lens assembly compact.

According to the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the photographing lens assembly may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the photographing lens assembly can also be reduced.

According to the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel away from the optical axis. Particularly, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface is convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface is concave in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the photographing lens assembly can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.

According to the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the photographing lens assembly and the image plane and thereby improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image plane is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the photographing lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

The present photographing lens assembly can be optionally applied to moving focus optical systems. According to the photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the photographing lens assembly is featured with good correction ability and high image quality, and can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, wearable devices and other mobile terminals.

According to the present disclosure, an image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes the photographing lens assembly according to the aforementioned photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, and an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on an image plane of the aforementioned photographing lens assembly. In the image capturing device, the lens elements of the photographing lens assembly can have much stronger negative refractive power through the arrangements of the surface shape and refractive powers of the photographing lens assembly. Therefore, it is favorable for the principal point of the photographing lens assembly being positioned away from the image plane so as to reduce the back focal length thereof and be applied to compact mobile terminals. Preferably, the image capturing device can further include a barrel member, a holding member or a combination thereof.

According to the present disclosure, a mobile terminal is provided, wherein the mobile terminal includes the aforementioned image capturing device. The image capturing device includes the photographing lens assembly according to the aforementioned photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, and the image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on an image plane of the aforementioned photographing lens assembly. Therefore, it is favorable for maintaining a compact size thereof. Preferably, the mobile terminal can further include but not limited to display, control unit, random access memory unit (RAM) a read only memory unit (ROM) or a combination thereof.
